If I am not mistaken, in OMA you have one mailbox (e.g. jdoe) per virtual alias (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]), which avoids the need to use virtual mailboxes. This is because of some trouble or "weird implementation" of the virtual mailboxes in Cyrus IMAP. You could still create a mailbox in Cyrus associated with a virtual alias in the form of [EMAIL PROTECTED], but it would not be a virtual mailbox, just a mailbox that looks like a virtual mailbox because of the name. It's to do with virtual_mailboxes directive of Cyrus IMAP. Mark will be able to tell you more about it as, to be honest, this is a concept that, after talking to Mark privately, never completely understood. Say Mark decided to do it this way also because of the type of business needs he had, in which he did not actually need virtual mailboxes. Let's wait for Mark to add a bit more here :) -- Jaume Sabater http://linuxsilo.net/ "Ubi sapientas ibi libertas" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Openmailadmin" group.
